EXM-1 Lefty Build (First Build)

It's not 'wrong', just better the other way round because of the possible string interference with the intonation screws. Apart from that, that type of bridge works both ways round.

You want the strings just clearing the rear edge of the bridge, not touching.

Thanks again Simon, you've been a great help through this build. many great pieces of help and advice. i've been watching a few videos on bridge and tailpiece setup (probably should have started there).

I'll play around tonight with the tailpiece height tonight and get some photos before and after.

Will feedback ASAP.

So I played around the the tailpiece height last night, and lowered it right down. strings are not touching the intonation screws which is great. Action is good, although i'll probably tweak a little. But most importantly, the string sit tight in their pockets and there is no buzz from the tail piece.

All in all i'm really happy.
